Fixing the subject matter value for attorney fees in constitutional complaint proceedings under the Federal Lawyers' Fee Act

The Federal Constitutional Court (1st Senate) fixed the subject matter value for attorney services in the constitutional complaint proceedings at €50,000, a procedural determination that stands independently as the operative outcome. This administrative decision addresses the internal case management matter of *Gegenstandswertfestsetzung* (determination of subject matter value) rather than the substantive merits of the underlying constitutional complaint, which involved a challenge to a prior instance decision. The court applied § 37 Abs. 2 Satz 2 in conjunction with § 14 Abs. 1 RVG (Federal Lawyers' Fee Act) as the decisive legal basis to calculate and set the specific monetary value required for fee regulations in the constitutional jurisdiction.
